Excellent the pass received few minutes ago with my home made arrow antenna on my vacation site by the Mediterranean shore at JN00DF in Spain. The maximum elevation was only 8 degrees but I could record the voice message and SSTV transmision comfortably up to three times meanwhile the sat passed above my deep sea blue horizon.... I was so excited that I was near to start to shout out!! Now I will try to decode the SSTV and listen carefully to the voice message for writing it down for QSL details. Congratulations and thanks to control team for this historical event. A great leap indeed 40 years ago that now we can live again.
Thanks again and good luck.

Congratulations, Angel!
And thank you to the control team for recruiting operators in order to make the AO-51 operation a worldwide event.
Job well-done!
